Victimology and Sexual Abuse
Introduction This post analyses the process of Victimology in criminal law cases and takes rape as an extreme example to highlight legal and societal sway in delivering criminal justice. Victimology in essence underlines the consequences of being a victim of a particular criminal act. These consequences in rape at least are impregnated with irreversible damages to the social standing of the victim which makes Victimology a necessary study to evaluate the nature of damages that arise from such crimes (Weis & Borges, 1973). This field of study emerged sometime towards the middle of the twentieth century, right near the end of the second World War. Some criminologists, like Benjamin Mendelsohn, a French-Israeli advocate and academic, brought this under their field of study and hence worked on it to establish a better understanding of the origins of crimes and its implications on the victims/violators and the society and general which eventually helped create a wave of awareness for victim’s rights, which was later recognized by the United Nations’ act for victim’s rights, submitted by the honorable Secretary General, in 1984, which then gave birth to the United Nations' Charter for Human rights (Citizens for Peace and Justice). Victimology has since then emerged as a significant field of study under criminology as it helps us understand the victim’s relationship with the violator and their experience with the criminal justice system. In the legal profession, Victimology has repeatedly proven to be an important subject as it helps experts understand Sociology, Criminology and Psychology in depth (Pathlegal.in). Victimology is considered to be a subset of all these subjects. Although, in its simplest form, Victimology helps in studying victims of heinous crimes (in this case sexual assault/rape) and analyze patterns and trends that display how factors like gender, race and sexual orientation affect the perception of the victim and their stories by different constituents/entities like the public, media and our legal system.
